Question: why would they market such a thing, when the idiots who buy it will totally disregard the safety warnings just to try to recreate their favourite scenes from the movies?

:blink:

I wouldn't buy it, that's for damn sure... Wow, though. Just...wow. I mean, they made one, but...it's just not safe, so how can they market it for collectors? It's going to be banned right some quick, let me tell ya!

that would truly be a crowning moment of blinding.

i want to buy a bunch of them, tie them together and focus them at one point, then put a scope on top. does that make me a supervillain?

From what I've seen on youtube so far, they'd prob'ly go right through each other.
Coz they're made of light.

Really, they aren't much like lightsabers bar the fact it look like the handle of one. No "vvvwing" sounds or anything... =(

I'd rather have a pocket version of this!

Imagine, some berk you don't like is on the other side of the road. You fire this at him, he yelps, and as far as nearby people are concerned absolutely nothing happened to him. A second later, he feels no pain whatsoever, and wonders if it's just his imagination.

Then you follow him about for a bit making him yelp for no apparent reason. It's kinda like the equivalent of the force - you can't see it, yet it's so powerful.

i can imagine that a wrist mounted microwave gun would make any sith cream his pants, who needs years of effort to choke things when you can turn their skin into fire with a flick of the wrist.

that said a wrist mounted laser would be just as epic, shame they only come with visible beams lol. is there a force immolate or am i going to have to invent it?

I just need to supersize this and stick it on a giant robot.

...and hook that up to a nuclear reactor. We need to work on that energy situation before we keep making new toys.

Always wanted to see a battlemech fight a gundam. I'm guessing the gundam would pwn it in close combat but if the mech gets enough shots off the pretty boy is boned.

Is that before, or after, an Imperator steps on both of them and keeps on going?

The main structure is rocks and fronds, but crystals are integral.

Well, if you own the first edition _BattleTech 3025 Tech Readout_ and the _Robotech_ RPG books, you can have the same unit fighting on both sides as completely different units.... >:)

The 'Mech is boned versus a Gundam no matter how you slice it, mainly because Battletech was designed with deliberately-crippled short-range weapons expressly in order to encourage anime-style melee combat. But at the same time, a lot of work went into making Battletech physics less godlike and unreal. At the speed Gundams move, a 'Mech will have time to get one or MAYBE two salvoes off.

Inaccurate, spread-out salvoes that would need luck to even cripple a lesser 'Mech without a lot more battering.

Y'know, just sayin'.

Depends on what exact mechs we're looking at, too. 'Gundams' in particular are meant to be unique superweapons that there's only, like, five of at any given time, while plain ol' mobile suits are way slower and weaker. The Battlemech equivalent would be a zillion-dollar one off superweapon that can lay waste to armies.

...now that'd be one fuck of a battle.

And yeah, Titans would lay waste to both.
